Where they diverge

Traditional concepts do not map one-to-one onto modern diagnoses. Read the divergence note first.

The traditional concept is broader: it keeps under one name what ICD-11 distributes by cause. The same sensory complaint is coded by ICD-11 as drug-induced, diabetic, carpal tunnel, radiculopathy or infarction depending on aetiology, with a symptom code only when the cause is unknown. The traditional name instead subdivides by body region. Conversely it does not carry what ICD-11 needs for localisation and management: distribution pattern (glove-and-stocking, dermatomal, single-nerve, hemibody), rate of onset, or objective sensory findings. Most importantly it does not separate central from peripheral causes — acute hemibody sensory change can be a stroke.

• Research confidence: medium. The full assessment, in Korean, is in docs/PATTERN_RESEARCH_KCD_DISEASES.md.
• The modern correspondences come from literature research, not from an official KCD or KTKP mapping, so the highest mapping confidence is not assigned.
• Full evidence and citations are in docs/PATTERN_RESEARCH_KCD_DISEASES.md.
• KCD does not carry the Donguibogam volume, so it is left blank here. It needs checking against the original text.
